Chapter 29: Deadly Flying Petals

  White peony petals fluttered down to the ground with the wind, and in an instant, a snow-white petal path was laid out. The gentle breeze picked up, and the faint scent of flowers lingered around the nose, making one feel carefree and joyful.

  Under the qiong flower tree, Leng Zhen smiled faintly as she looked at Beidong Xiner's long sword pointing directly at her nose tip. Under the bright sunlight, the silver-white sword tip sparkled with an intimidating cold light.

  Her calm and clear eyes glanced at the black-clad assassin standing behind her, who was poised to strike, but she showed no surprise or fear, her expression as cold as ice.

  A slender figure leaned against the trunk of a qiong flower tree by the roadside, casually plucking a branch of qiong flowers that was within reach. The flowers were densely packed, one next to another, pure white and delicate, smiling brightly with eyebrows relaxed, radiant and captivating.

  The stunning beauty of the city, under the reflection of snow and jade flowers, becomes even more ethereal and elusive.

  That shallow smile of beauty, unaware of the dangers and ugliness of the world, can move even a ruthless killer devoid of humanity.

  "Kill her." Beidong Xiner swung his long sword and gave the order.

  She was furious, why facing so many dead men, she could still be calm and composed, without a single trace of panic?

  She is jealous, why she has a stunning beauty that can topple cities and states.

  Whether standing or sitting, every gesture and movement is full of elegance and refinement beyond compare.

  Just at the moment of the fatal move, Leng Ziyue's pink lips curled up into a small arc, and her figure flashed by, as fast as lightning.

  A smiling phoenix pupil, blinking between filling with frost, cold as mysterious ice, killing intent pervades.

  "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——"

  Only heard its voice, but did not see its form, the mournful and sorrowful cries were endless in my ears.

  Like a dragon's azure cloud sleeve, snow-white jade flowers flutter about, gently swaying and slowly falling to the ground.

  When everything returns to calmness, the air is filled with a bloody smell, and on the pure white petals, there are drops of blood red, which is bleakly beautiful and enchanting.

  "Do you want to live?" Leng Xueyue lowered her eyes, and the oppressive aura around her disappeared completely, as if the bloodthirsty demon from just now was not her at all. The only thing left was that the branch of jade flowers that had been full and heavy was now empty, without a single flower remaining.

  Bei Tang Xin Er's eyes widened in terror, her back was already drenched with sweat, her legs were like lead, unable to move half a step, the blood on her face flowed down her cheeks and gathered at the tip of her chin before dripping onto the ground, the faint sound disappeared amidst the anxious beating of her heart, it was so clear and vivid.

  The pink embroidered shoes had been soaked in the blood that flowed from between the eyebrows of the dead soldier on her back, sticking to her feet, making it especially unbearable. All her strength seemed to have been drained away, and she didn't dare move at all.

  She had never seen a murder so beautiful and tragic, that kind of fear penetrated deep into her bones, unable to extricate herself.

  The delicate and weak petals of the peony are also a deadly weapon that can kill people.

  "It seems you're scared, what to do?" Lan Zhiyue burst out laughing, her pure laughter full of innocence and naivety, as if she didn't understand the ways of the world, extremely adorable.

  Gulping down saliva, Beidong Xiner struggled to kick away the dead body on her feet, screaming as she tried to escape. In her panic, she stumbled and fell to the ground, her originally rosy face now pale as a ghost, looking like she might faint at any moment, evoking sympathy from others.

  Leng Xue dropped the empty branch in her hand, and took a light step forward. Bei Tang Xin Er retreated backward with a frightened expression, her big eyes darting back and forth in terror, she looked around frantically wanting to cry out for help, but her voice seemed stuck in her throat, unable to make a sound.

  The result of being too scared is that I lost control of my bladder, and a stream of urine mixed with the scent of flowers in the air, the smell was truly indescribable...

  "You say you're so afraid of death, how can you still be so arrogant?" Leng Ziyue stopped in her tracks. She hadn't planned on taking her life at the moment, purely just to scare and tease her. Who would have thought that she was so easily frightened, and actually wet her pants? It's really not interesting at all.

  Her eyes blinked lightly, and with a relaxed and pleasant tone, she said: "Your head is temporarily placed on your neck, the game has just begun, you're dead, what's left to play?"

  As soon as the words fell, Blue Clothes lightly brushed past, Leng Xueying had already flashed into the Qionghua Forest. She hadn't forgotten that her goal was to enter the Black Forest to find the green strain bacteria, not to play a game of assassination with Beidong Xiner.

  It seems that Beitang Xiang'er's background is not ordinary, and her mother is indeed not a simple person.

  However, since they provoked her, even if it's the emperor himself, offending her would make it impossible for him to sit on the dragon throne in peace.

  She had originally wanted to keep a low profile, but since she was being monitored and assassinated everywhere, it would be more interesting to make a high-profile move, lure the snake out of its hole.

  、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

  "She's not Yue'er, not Yue'er, definitely not...," Zhang Xiao shook his head, muttering to himself, he didn't believe the person he saw earlier was Leng Ziyue.

  It can't be her, absolutely impossible.

  His Yu'er wouldn't know martial arts, and it's even more impossible for her to have such a sharp gaze, it's not her.

  "But she is indeed Leng Zuo, it's impossible for there to be two people in the world who look exactly alike." Jing Changke furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, this move of "Flying Flowers and Snatching Life" was probably unmatched by anyone.

  A flower takes a life, and even the fatal spot is exactly the same, right between the eyebrows.

  He didn't know that flowers growing everywhere could also be used as hidden weapons, and they were extremely sharp.

  "She deceived everyone." Baili Changjian didn't know if Leng Zixue had discovered that they were hiding here, but for some reason, he felt like she had found them, yet she let them off.

  Was she afraid of being beaten by them and left?

  He himself didn't even believe in such an explanation, and what exactly did she say to Beidong Xiner that could scare her into fainting?

  "She's not Yu'er, I've been with her before, and I know whether she knows martial arts or not. It's impossible, in such a short time apart from me, she can't possibly learn such good martial skills." Zhang Xiao almost went crazy shouting out loud, suddenly remembering that encounter at the Drunken Guest House, what she said to him by his ear.

  To owe one's life and then return it.

  She indeed hated him and resented him.

  "There's nothing impossible under the sky, it's just that we've never experienced it before." Jing Changke picked up a jasmine flower from the ground, its fragrance was refreshing and pleasant. The whole flower had eight petals unfolding, how could it be associated with a deadly weapon?

  Leng Xueyue is becoming more and more like an unsolvable riddle.

  "Never mind, let's go back first. Whether she is really Cold Zongyue or not, we can ask Zhong Junhou to clarify later." Baili Changjian didn't want to stay here any longer, the corpses lying on the ground in front of him, the thick smell of blood was unbearable.

  It would also remind him of Leng Xue's sharp eyes and her swift and deadly figure, like a ghostly assassin.

  "Let's go!" Jing Changke said lightly, lowering his eyes.

  It's more important to figure out whether Leng Zixue is indeed Leng Zixue than his curiosity, otherwise he won't be able to explain himself to the people above.

  "If there's any news, please let me know, I'm tired." Zhang Xiao shook his head. He didn't want to marry Beidang Xiner, nor did he want to go against his family's wishes, so he had been looking for an excuse to enter the Black Forest.

  If he died, then it would be all over.

  But he didn't expect that his aunt would let Baili Changjian follow him, and Jing Changke also came to find him, even witnessing that shocking scene.

  His Yu'er, now even if he's not by her side, can still emerge unscathed and unaffected.

  "Good." Ba Li Chang Jian nodded, and the three of them quickly returned along the original path to Yue Du Huang Cheng.

  Digression
